Nothing says “summer” quite like cold beer, hot blues, tasty barbecue and the guttural sound of a panhead spitting oil on gleaming chrome pipes. If you agree, then get your motor runnin’ and head on down to West Chippewa on Wednesdays for the 4th Annual Blues, Bikes & BBQ series—where you, along with roughly 500 other bikers, can show off your HOG, Dresser, Chopper, Cruiser, Café Racer or Crotch Rocket and check out the weekly bike contest while sampling some complimentary BBQ, taking advantage of drink specials and digging live blues bands. In coming weeks, acts will include Junkyard Dogs, The Coupe Devilles, Willie Haddeth, Jony James, Yvonne Schmidt and Joe Santana. Even if you don’t ride but want to come out and explore your inner Peter Fonda, this is the time and place to do it. Who knows? You could be the one to win a trip for two to this year’s Daytona Biketoberfest—which could result in unplanned body piercings or skin art. If that’s not cool enough, you might become eligible to win a 2006 Harley Davidson Street Bob motorcycle. “One Percenters” not welcome, and if you don’t know what a “One Percenter” is, then rest assured you aren’t one.

Wednesdays at 7pm, through September 27. Crocodile Bar, 88 West Chippewa (853-2762). $3 cover for bands.
